聚无尽，天上人间咸悉尊敬。是故，我等宜共供养，必获大果。’ “共相议已，第一童子说伽陀曰： “‘此佛一切众中尊， 天上人间所应供， 我等宜伸供养事， 获大果报而不虚。’ “余二童子说伽陀曰： “‘我伸供养无香华， 亦无种种妙供具， 但唯有此全身命， 当舍供养佛、世尊。’ “是时前一童子即脱所著殊妙真珠、璎珞——价直百千两金——向二童子说伽陀曰： “‘我今当以此璎珞， 供佛、如来大智尊， 愿我伸其供养已， 当获无上大福聚。’ “是时余二童子见此童子献供养已，亦各脱身所著璎珞，向一童子说伽陀曰： “‘我以璎珞伸供养， 一切最胜正觉尊， 发此诚心供养已， 誓愿求于佛正法。’ “是时前一童子见此二人，亦献璎珞而告之曰：‘汝等所作福利无量，当于佛法求何等果？’第二童子曰：‘我愿当来得为世尊右边弟子而得智慧第一。’第三童子曰：‘我愿当来为佛左边弟子而得神通第一。’二童子各说所愿已，复问第一童子曰：‘汝善开导，为我善友。汝献供养何所求耶？’答曰：‘我所愿者，愿当得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提果，具一切智，放光照曜，使一切众见者欢喜发菩提心， 现代汉语译本：‘聚集无尽的功德，天上人间都应该尊敬。因此，我们应该一起供养，必定获得巨大的果报。’ 共同商议之后，第一位童子说了偈语： ‘这位佛陀是一切众生中最尊贵的，天上人间都应该供养，我们应该尽力供养，获得巨大的果报而不虚妄。’ 其余两位童子说了偈语： ‘我没有香和花来供养，也没有各种美妙的供具，只有这全身的性命，应当舍弃来供养佛（Buddha）、世尊（Lokasenna）。’ 这时，第一位童子脱下所穿戴的殊妙真珠璎珞——价值百千两黄金——对两位童子说了偈语： ‘我现在应当用这璎珞，供养佛（Buddha）、如来（Tathagata）大智尊，愿我尽力供养之后，能够获得无上的大福德。’ 这时，其余两位童子见到这位童子献上供养后，也各自脱下身上所穿戴的璎珞，对第一位童子说了偈语： ‘我用璎珞来尽力供养，一切最殊胜的正觉尊，发出这诚心供养之后，誓愿求得佛（Buddha）的正法。’ 这时，第一位童子见到这两人也献上璎珞，就告诉他们说：‘你们所作的福利无量，打算在佛法中求得什么样的果报？’第二位童子说：‘我愿将来能够成为世尊（Lokasenna）右边的弟子，并且得到智慧第一。’第三位童子说：‘我愿将来成为佛（Buddha）左边的弟子，并且得到神通第一。’两位童子各自说了自己的愿望后，又问第一位童子说：‘你善于开导，是我们的好朋友。你献上供养，所求的是什么呢？’回答说：‘我所希望的是，愿能得到阿耨多罗三藐三菩提（Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi）果，具足一切智慧，放出光明照耀，使一切众生见到的人都欢喜并发起菩提心（Bodhi-citta）。’

English version: ‘Gathering endless merits, all in heaven and the human realm should respect. Therefore, we should together make offerings, and we will surely obtain great rewards.’ After discussing together, the first boy spoke a Gatha (verse): ‘This Buddha (Buddha) is the most honored among all beings, worthy of offerings from heaven and the human realm. We should strive to make offerings, to obtain great rewards that are not in vain.’ The other two boys spoke Gathas (verses): ‘I have no incense or flowers to offer, nor any kind of wonderful offerings. I only have this whole body and life, which I should relinquish to offer to the Buddha (Buddha), the World Honored One (Lokasenna).’ At that time, the first boy took off the exquisite pearl necklaces he was wearing—worth hundreds of thousands of gold—and said a Gatha (verse) to the two boys: ‘I shall now use these necklaces to offer to the Buddha (Buddha), the Tathagata (Tathagata), the greatly wise and honored one. May I, after striving to make this offering, obtain supreme and great blessings.’ At that time, the other two boys, seeing this boy making offerings, also each took off the necklaces they were wearing and said a Gatha (verse) to the first boy: ‘I use these necklaces to strive to make offerings to the most supreme and rightly enlightened honored one. Having made this sincere offering, I vow to seek the Buddha's (Buddha) true Dharma.’ At that time, the first boy, seeing these two also offering necklaces, told them: ‘The merits you have created are immeasurable. What kind of fruit do you intend to seek in the Buddha Dharma?’ The second boy said: ‘I wish to become the World Honored One's (Lokasenna) disciple on the right side in the future and attain the foremost wisdom.’ The third boy said: ‘I wish to become the Buddha's (Buddha) disciple on the left side in the future and attain the foremost supernatural powers.’ After the two boys each spoke their wishes, they asked the first boy: ‘You are good at guiding, and you are our good friend. What do you seek by making offerings?’ He replied: ‘What I wish for is to attain the fruit of Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi), to possess all wisdom, to emit light and illuminate, so that all beings who see it will rejoice and generate Bodhi-citta (Bodhi-citta).’ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

如师子王大众围绕、如佛今日等无有异。’” 佛告舍利子：“彼三童子如是各各发誓愿时，于虚空中有八千天子俱发声言：‘善哉，善哉。汝等善说此语，所希胜果决定无疑。’是三童子各持璎珞前诣佛所。” 尔时，佛告舍利子：“具诸功德如来见三童子持诸璎珞来诣佛所，即告海慧苾刍言：‘苾刍！汝见此三童子不？’海慧白佛言：‘世尊！唯然，已见。’佛言：‘苾刍！第一童子心所希求，与二童子不同，举足、下足自在特尊——如转轮圣王，假使百千梵王帝释亦不能及——今来佛所开发道心，愿欲趣证无上菩提故。’是三童子到佛所已，各各头面礼世尊足，各以璎珞奉上世尊。佛既受已，其发声闻心者，所献璎珞住于佛前；其发菩提心者，所献璎珞在于佛上虚空中住，变成四柱宝台，四面严饰，其上有无量诸佛结跏趺坐，现诸相好、种种庄严殊胜无量。 “是时具诸功德如来即入三昧，普观诸佛、如来变化之相，从其面门出种种色光——所谓青、黄、赤、白、红、紫、碧、绿——光明普照无边世界，上至梵天，映蔽日月光明皆悉不现。其光照已，右绕三匝还复世尊顶门而入。是时海慧苾刍前白佛言：‘世尊！有何因缘放斯光明？惟愿世尊示我令知。’佛告苾刍言：‘汝见此二童子所献璎 ‘如同狮子王被大众围绕，如同今日的佛一样，没有差别。’ 佛告诉舍利子：‘那三个童子这样各自发誓愿的时候，在虚空中，有八千天子一起发出声音说：‘善哉，善哉。你们善于说这些话，所希望的殊胜果报决定无疑。’这三个童子各自拿着璎珞来到佛的处所。’ 这时，佛告诉舍利子：‘具足各种功德的如来见到三个童子拿着各种璎珞来到佛的处所，就告诉海慧苾刍（bhiksu，比丘）说：‘比丘！你见到这三个童子了吗？’海慧回答佛说：‘世尊！是的，已经见到了。’佛说：‘比丘！第一个童子心中所希望的，与另外两个童子不同，举足、下足都自在特别尊贵——如同转轮圣王，即使百千梵王帝释也不能相比——现在来到佛的处所开发道心，愿望趣向证得无上菩提的缘故。’这三个童子到达佛的处所后，各自以头面顶礼世尊的脚，各自将璎珞奉献给世尊。佛接受之后，那发起声闻心的人，所献的璎珞停留在佛的前面；那发起菩提心的人，所献的璎珞在佛上方的虚空中停留，变成四柱宝台，四面都庄严修饰，其上有无量诸佛结跏趺坐，显现各种相好、种种庄严殊胜无量。 ‘这时，具足各种功德的如来就进入三昧（samadhi，禅定），普遍观察诸佛、如来的变化之相，从他的面门发出各种颜色的光芒——所谓青、黄、赤、白、红、紫、碧、绿——光明普遍照耀无边世界，上至梵天，映蔽日月的光明都完全不显现。这些光芒照耀之后，向右绕三圈，又回到世尊的顶门而进入。这时海慧苾刍上前对佛说：‘世尊！有什么因缘放出这样的光明？希望世尊开示我，让我知道。’佛告诉比丘说：‘你见到这两个童子所献的璎珞……’

'Like a lion king surrounded by a great assembly, like the Buddha today, there is no difference.'" The Buddha told Sariputra (Śāriputra): 'When those three boys each made their vows, in the empty sky, eight thousand devas (devas, gods) together proclaimed: 'Excellent, excellent. You have spoken these words well, and the supreme fruit you hope for is undoubtedly certain.' These three boys each took necklaces and went to the Buddha's place.' At that time, the Buddha told Sariputra (Śāriputra): 'The Tathagata (Tathāgata, Thus Come One), who possesses all merits, saw the three boys coming to the Buddha's place with various necklaces, and immediately told Bhiksu (bhiksu, monk) Haihui: 'Bhiksu! Do you see these three boys?' Haihui replied to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! Yes, I have seen them.' The Buddha said: 'Bhiksu! What the first boy hopes for in his heart is different from the other two boys. Raising his feet and lowering his feet, he is free and especially honored—like a Chakravarti (chakravarti, Wheel-Turning King), even hundreds of thousands of Brahma Kings and Indra (Indra, Lord of the Gods) cannot compare—now he comes to the Buddha's place to develop the mind of the Path, wishing to attain Anuttara-Samyak-Sambodhi (anuttarā-samyak-saṃbodhi, unsurpassed, complete and perfect enlightenment).' After these three boys arrived at the Buddha's place, they each bowed their heads and faces to the feet of the World Honored One, and each offered necklaces to the World Honored One. After the Buddha received them, the necklaces offered by those who aroused the Sravaka (śrāvaka, Hearer) mind remained in front of the Buddha; the necklaces offered by those who aroused the Bodhi (bodhi, enlightenment) mind remained in the empty space above the Buddha, transforming into a four-pillared jeweled platform, adorned on all four sides, upon which countless Buddhas sat in the lotus position, manifesting various marks and characteristics, with immeasurable and supremely wonderful adornments. 'At this time, the Tathagata (Tathāgata, Thus Come One) who possessed all merits entered Samadhi (samādhi, concentration), universally observing the transformations of all Buddhas and Tathagatas, and emitted various colors of light from his face—namely blue, yellow, red, white, pink, purple, turquoise, and green—the light universally illuminated the boundless world, reaching up to the Brahma heaven, obscuring the light of the sun and moon so that it was completely invisible. After this light illuminated, it circled three times to the right and then re-entered the World Honored One's crown. At this time, Bhiksu (bhiksu, monk) Haihui stepped forward and said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! What is the cause and condition for emitting this light? I hope the World Honored One will reveal it to me so that I may know.' The Buddha told the Bhiksu: 'Do you see the necklaces offered by these two boys...' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

珞于佛前住不？’苾刍白佛言：‘唯然，已见。’佛言：‘苾刍！此二童子为求声闻果故，乐欲趣证自利涅盘，不能发起大菩提心。苾刍！汝见前一童子所献璎珞在于佛上于虚空中作诸变化，此人为欲趣证无上菩提利益一切众生故。彼二童子但乐智慧、神通，不能普为利乐。是故，所献供养亦无殊胜之相。当知发大菩提心者所作福事亦不可量，汝今宜应舍声闻心，当求阿耨多罗三藐三菩提。’” 佛告舍利子：“彼时发大乘心童子岂异人乎？即我身是；乐智慧者即汝身是，乐神通者即目乾连是。汝等声闻虽免轮回，唯乐趣于涅盘，终不能广利众生、心等诸佛，同若虚空无穷无尽，福聚无量、功德无量，超过声闻、缘觉境界。舍利子！汝等速发阿耨多罗三藐三菩提心。” 是时，舍利子、大目乾连、大迦叶、阿泥卢驮、优波离、富楼那、须菩提等诸大声闻，异口同音作如是言：“善哉，世尊！善能开导，令我等发起大菩提心。世尊！当知善男子、善女人种诸善根欲求解脱者，应发广大心及广大行愿，是人当得见百千诸佛，听闻正法。 “世尊！我等自昔已来智慧狭劣，不敢希求佛无边智，而今深自克责，当发大心。譬如有人造诸不善业已，若不悔过、改恶从善，无由免诸苦恼。我等声闻唯求自利，若 现代汉语译本：佛问：‘珞于（璎珞）是否还在佛前？’苾刍（比丘）回答佛说：‘是的，已经看见。’佛说：‘苾刍（比丘）！这两个童子为了追求声闻果，喜欢追求证得自利的涅盘，不能发起广大的菩提心。苾刍（比丘）！你看见前面那个童子所献的璎珞在佛的上方，在虚空中作出各种变化，这个人是为了追求证得无上菩提，利益一切众生。那两个童子只喜欢智慧、神通，不能普遍地为了利益安乐众生。因此，他们所献的供养也没有殊胜的景象。应当知道发起大菩提心的人所作的福德之事也是不可计量的，你们现在应该舍弃声闻心，应当追求阿耨多罗三藐三菩提（无上正等正觉）。’ 佛告诉舍利子（佛陀十大弟子之一，以智慧著称）说：‘那时发起大乘心的童子难道是别人吗？就是我的前身；喜欢智慧的就是你的前身，喜欢神通的就是目乾连（佛陀十大弟子之一，以神通著称）的前身。你们这些声闻虽然免除了轮回，只乐趣于涅盘，终究不能广泛地利益众生，心量等同诸佛，如同虚空一样无穷无尽，福德聚集无量、功德无量，超过声闻、缘觉的境界。舍利子（佛陀十大弟子之一，以智慧著称）！你们赶快发起阿耨多罗三藐三菩提心（无上正等正觉）。’ 这时，舍利子（佛陀十大弟子之一，以智慧著称）、大目乾连（佛陀十大弟子之一，以神通著称）、大迦叶（佛陀十大弟子之一，以苦行著称）、阿泥卢驮（佛陀十大弟子之一，以天眼著称）、优波离（佛陀十大弟子之一，以持戒著称）、富楼那（佛陀十大弟子之一，以说法著称）、须菩提（佛陀十大弟子之一，以解空著称）等各位大声闻，异口同声地说：‘太好了，世尊！善于开导，使我们发起大菩提心。世尊！应当知道善男子、善女人种下各种善根想要求解脱的人，应该发起广大的心以及广大的行愿，这样的人才能得见百千诸佛，听闻正法。 ‘世尊！我们从前以来智慧狭隘浅薄，不敢希望求得佛的无边智慧，而今深深地自我责备，应当发起大心。譬如有人造作各种不善的恶业之后，如果不忏悔过错、改正恶行而行善，就没有办法免除各种苦恼。我们这些声闻只求自利，如果’
